An executor without equal, Tassadar has fought tirelessly to purify the Koprulu sector of the Zerg infestation. Only now, after learning to wield the shadowy powers of the Void, is Tassadar finally ready to face the Overmind and its all-consuming Swarm.

Tassadar, Savior of the Templar, was a protosshigh templar and executor in charge of the expeditionary force which made first contact with the Zerg. His forces also made first contact with the Terrans when they sterilized the surface of Chau Sara in an effort to stem the growth of the Zerg. Tassadar was extremely reluctant to sacrifice the Terrans in order to destroy the Zerg. He eventually lost his position as executor for sparing the Terrans.

Tassadar learned how to use the Dark Templar's energies[6] and dared to bring them to Aiur. This alliance was responsible for the destruction of the dreaded Overmind, but not without Tassadar's sacrifice.[1]

Tassadar transforms into an Archon and gains a Plasma Shield. His Basic Attacks deal 158 (+4% per level) damage, slow the target by 30% for 1 second and splash for 83 (+4% per level) damage to enemies within 2.5 range. Lasts for 10.5 seconds.

Tassadar's Plasma Shield (especially if Khala's Embrace is taken) can be combined with Butcher's Brand to greatly increase The Butcher's sustain while shielding him.

Some of Lúcio’s weaknesses are that he lacks wave clear and single-target burst healing. Tassadar shores both of these up nicely with Plasma Shield and Psionic Storm. When these two heroes are on the same team, it can be very difficult for opponents to find a good kill target.

Malthael's already strong self-sustain makes him better paired with allies that can mitigate or prevent damage rather raw healing. Tassadar offers great utility, with Force Wall being both useful to trap victims of Reaper's Mark, as well prevent divers from attacking Malthael.

Ragnaros has a lot of self-healing with Empower Sulfuras, and Tassadar’s shields are a great way to ensure that he stays alive long enough for that healing to come through in extended fights.

Oracle shuts down Valeera’s attempts to flank enemies in its tracks by revealing nearby stealthed Heroes, and the extra shielding that Tassadar can provide can make it difficult for Valeera’s team to burst someone down.

Tassadar was concieved within the first two years of the game's development,[2] and appeared in early builds.[3] He started off as a sentry, but was eventually made a fully fledged hero. A crest was added to his back to make him look more epic.[4] The crest bears resemblance to the one worn by Artanis in Legacy of the Void.
